It's not as if she failed to declare that she was the subject of an ongoing HMRC investigation into her taxes when appointed Chancellor & paying multi million penalty to the HMRC & ministers spent thousands to try and cover it up - that kind of thing wouldn't happen, would it?

Farage is fuelling the return of racist language and behaviour. The worst thing is that the British media have normalised this behaviour by ignoring it.
This gives racists carte blanche to shamefully discriminate against minorities.
But we will always call out racism!

In its Employment Rights Bill, Labour has also proposed introducing nine-month legal 'probation' periods to address concerns, but the think-tank said this was a 'messy compromise'.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?
Tough new conditions to be imposed on migrants who want to settle in the UK will not apply to more than a million people who arrived in the UK under the post-Brexit immigration surge
Labour’s tough new rules will not apply to migrants already in UK

Seeing some politicians competing for just how brutal and dehumanising they can be to vulnerable minorities - I can’t help comparing that to 16th and 17th witch trials. It’s so depressing.
